What is the difference between commercial van and private van use?

13/12/2022

Commercial insurance policies cover you when you use your van for business purposes. Please note, GoSkippy does not offer commercial van insurance cover.

You need private van insurance if you drive it for social reasons. Including family trips and going to the supermarket.
